What day, OF hitter breath

But dwelt alone,
And hight and dav,
In the old weary way,

Deep rest, complete,
And nevermOre,
Heart weary and foOt-sore,
Shall stray thy feet

With such long discomfort
Their wonted beat
About thy room,
With its deop'seatcd gloom,
Or through the street.
Death gives them ease
Death gives thy spirit peace
Death lulls thee, quite

Death leaves thee Of thine own

she will make her debut to the outside
world at the coming State Fair. Although
this is one of the finest counties in the State
in point of natural resources and climatic
attractions, she has never before been rep
resented at the State Fair owing to the
lack of facilities for rapid communication,
and the long distance from the place of ex-
hibit. But she now feels the effects of the
rushing tide in the general prosperity of
the State, and is bound to come out and
show herself Humboldt county possesses

cultural land to be found anywhere, is a

less. Humboldts exhibit will be sure to
attract much attention for the county is
known to be one of the very richest in its
native resources. Her position will be near
the entrance to the north wing of the Pa
vilion, on the left hand side. Fred. W
Bell, Secretary of the Humboldt County

IT is an old and worn-out proverb, but
as true to-day as ever, that " the cur makes
the most noise when one looks his way,
There are small souls in plenty in this
world who are forever snarling at the heels
of Others simply to attract their attention,
and who are happy if they receive no
more than kick. But the wise policy is
TO administer not even so much as that
Though the dogs bark, the moon sails
on" says Spanish proverb. There is a
vast deal of time and human energy
thrown to the dogs, literally, by those who
permit themselves to be worried by small
things and annoyed by the envious. Dam
lei Webster was once asked why he did not
reply to the scurrilorls railing against him
OF a pigmy politician. Bless your SOUL"
replied the great statesman. al didn't
know he had assailed me; really ] haven't
time to hear such things" The weightier
considerations of life and its activities
lifted him above the atmosphere in which
the ours barked at him. If men, conscious
Of the integrity and soundness Of their
course, give ear to all that is said of them,
and determine to strike back whenever any
OF the people of Lilliput exert themselves
in fruitless assault, they will presently find
time for no other employment. Leave the
little things of worry and the little assail-
ants to sting themselves to death. Choose
rather contests in which there is some
thing worthy of the purpose of life for
which to do battle.

THE Governor of Missouri, through his
Adjutant-General, has issued an order per-
hitting military organizations of other
States to pass through Missouri, going and
coming to the Constitutional Centennial
celebration at Philadelphia in the present
month. There may be some law of the
State of Missouri that prohibits the passage
of the troops of other States through that
one without the consent of the Governor,
If there is such a statute, it is very focl-
ish one. The order of the Governor
sounds altogether too much like the proc
lamation Of royal assent in a monarchial
State.

THE San Francisco Alta well says
/" The people of the United States owe
Senator Stanford their thanks for the cour-
ageous and now triumphant stand taken
by him against the assumed Congressional
power Of unlimited investigation by wan
dering committees, commissioners and
boards, into matters which do not concern
the Government. He has been fighting
their battle as well as his own-the never
firing battle of private right against the
insidious aggressions of sovereign power.
His cause in this affair has been, in real
ity, the cause of the people as truly as was
John Hampden's, in England, when he
withstood the King in the matter of the
'ship-money."
